Recap: "Fencing Fireworks"

While playing a game with animal cards, the little girls ask the cameraman to tell them the name of one of the animals (a meerkat). Josie's response? "It's a mirror cat...with a
mirror."

Jim Bob takes the kids shopping for 4th of July fireworks.
Each Duggar child is given $7 to spend, and everyone but Josiah, Justin, and
Jordyn stay within their budget.

At their Independence Day celebration, the Duggars set off over
200 fireworks. According to Jim Bob, 4th of July is the one day of the year that his
children are allowed to play with fire, and they love it.

A friend of the Duggars' invites them to his fencing club
to learn the basics of sword fighting.

"In our family, fencing usually means building a
fence," says Michelle. That's what most of the kids thought when they first heard
the word, but most were willing to give it a try."We
thought we'd take a jab at it," jokes the mom of nineteen.

The lessons starts off with running and calisthenics. Jim
Bob, Michelle, and Grandma Duggar join in on the fun, but the older girls
prefer to watch. "It would be embarrassing," explains Michelle. "They're at that age; everything is embarrassing."

"It was just a little too unique for me," says
Jinger.

After warming up, the Duggars are ready to begin. Grandma and Michelle go head-to-head in what Michelle calls her "first fight
with [her] mother-in-law." (To this day, Grandma still talks about how much
fun she had.)

On the other side of the gym, Justin beats his dad twice in
a row. "It's a great way to settle family arguments," says Jim Bob.

After the commercial break, Jinger--a talented pianist--successfully
plays "Amazing Grace" on two pianos at the same time.

Jim Bob rounds up the kids to plan Michelle's 46th birthday
party. Grandma, Anna, Amy, and the older girls head to a local craft store to stock up on
supplies. They set a clock for 30 minutes and make it out of the store
on time.

no way next weeks episode is the season finale wow the the duggar seasons went by so fast i know why they keep doing two episodes a night they need to one episode a night so it dont go by fast-brittani

In the TLC press release, I remember it said that we will watch this season as some of the girls begin courting. I've anticipated that since that since the beginning of the season. What happened I wonder? :(

I feel so lucky to be able to sit and Read your blog about the Duggar Family! I have a few questions I have been wondering about for the past week.

As I watched Duggars Explore Central America,I felt so Happy when Jill made a new friend named Enia. I was wondering if they will still write letters to each other or if they are penpals or somethingand Are there going to be future times when the Duggars will have a Question and answer episode?

Well thanks again for posting this blog and please see that if you have time to reply please do!

Jim Bob loooked scared of the foil!! LOL He'd be scared if eh had to face off against a Sabre! My son fences(he used to dance which gave him a huge advantage when he started fencing)and he has a definate preference for Sabre! Which leaves a LOT of bruises!!
